CVT RPM at 60 MPH?

GK CVT folk, may I ask what RPM your car sits at at 60 MPH?

At 65-70 mph, I'm seeing 22-2300 rpm on my CVT Fit.
I assume, at 60 mph, maybe 20-2100 rpm?
It seems really LOW for a mere 1.5L engine - on CVT not 6 MT.

About the same here (from memory). Pretty much just loafing along.

Strange.

That's almost exactly the RPM range I see at 60 MPH in Ms.410b's 5AT GD.

FWIW my M/T GK spins at 2,900RPM @60mph; 3,400RPM @70mph; and just at 3,500RPM @75mph.

I know this is the opposite of this threads question, but it seemed like a good place for comparisons.

Yeah, I see around 2000 rpm cruising at very light throttle at nearly 65 mph in my wife's LX with CVT.

LX CVT, mine runs at 2000 rpm at 60 mph.
About half of my drive to and from work each day is at 60 mph.
About 40 miles round trip; 50% highway, with 50% stop and go because of traffic lights, with an average of 40 mph on the stop and go portion of the trip.
Flat land here in Florida, mileage averages in the 40 to 41 mpg range on my work commutes.

I can accelerate from a dead stop to 60 mph at 2,000 rpm if I'm doing the fuel economy thing, and it increases from there. 75 mph is 2500 rpm.

My son's manual GE is about 50% higher rpm at either speed--3,000 rpm at 60 and 3,750 at 75 mph. Because they stuck the additional gear on the 2015 manual between his 4th and 5th, they're the same in top gear.
